First, the UK visa progress query method
Since May, UKVI has deleted the visa progress inquiry function, namely VFS, from official website. You cannot use this online query to track the status of visa applications.
Students can directly check the visa application status with UKVI in any of the following ways. Please make preparations for GWF in advance.
$ number and birthdays: free email inquiry. Students can fill in the complete inquiry information to understand the visa application dynamics.
Second, the UK visa progress query Q&; A
1, Q: How can I check the progress of studying in the UK?
A: If you want to consult the submitted application, you can call the Visa Application Center of the UK Border Agency. Please call 400821182 at home and 00862 128939 105 abroad. The hotline provides services in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. The opening hours are from 08:00 a.m. to 07:00 p.m. China time from Monday to Friday.
2. Q: Not the applicant. Can you tell me the visa result?
A: According to the Data Protection and Freedom of Information Act, visa centers cannot disclose individual visa applications in any way. This is personal information and cannot be disclosed or discussed with a third party.
Q: I have been waiting for the visa processing result for three weeks. Where is the application now?
A: Due to the large number of visa applications received at present, the processing time of all applications is longer than usual. In order to ensure that you can leave on the scheduled date, we remind you to submit your visa application as soon as possible. Once again, it is recommended that you do not buy air tickets or incur other travel expenses before the visa is accepted, because you may face the risk that your application will be delayed or rejected.
Q: I need to borrow my passport. Can I return it?
A: If you want to get your passport back, you need to cancel your visa application and fill out the visa cancellation application form at the visa application center. This means that the visa application will be terminated, and the next time you apply for a visa, you must reapply and pay the relevant visa fees. And will not receive a refund.
5. Q: Can I get a refund?
A: Only by submitting a written cancellation application before visa acceptance and biological information collection can the fee be refunded.
6. Q: What should I do if the license of an educational institution provider is revoked?
A: If your educational institution's license is suspended, it cannot issue any new visa letters. If you have submitted an application to study in these revoked schools, your visa application will be temporarily suspended until the problem of revocation of your license is solved. Your application for admission will not be considered until a final decision is made on the situation of these schools. If the school's permission is finally withdrawn, you will be refused a visa.
We can't provide more opinions and suggestions on the contract between the applicant and the school about funds. This is a problem between students and providers in British educational institutions.
7. Q: Can I make an appointment for a visa interview?
A: Not all visa applicants need an interview. The British entry visa officer has the right to make a decision based on sufficient information provided without an interview. Once an interview is needed, the visa application center is responsible for arranging the appropriate interview time for you according to the timetable.
8. Q: Can I change the date and time of the interview?
The interview date cannot be changed. If you want to change the interview date or time, you must send an email to the UK Visa Application Centre (VAC) where you submitted your application.
9. Q: Can I submit the materials after submitting the visa application?
A: Supplementary materials cannot be submitted at any visa application center after the application is submitted. The visa center only accepts the application materials submitted when you submit your application. Materials cannot be submitted by mail or fax.
Three, six kinds of UK visa progress status
Under normal circumstances, the UK visa progress query will have the following six states:
The time for submission and inquiry is generally the same day;
If it is sent by EMS, it is: AddressLabelPrinting Completed Don.
2.Visaapplication, refnoBEIJ/ date, month, year/a coding rule/1hasbeendisspatchedfromukvisacentrukebase Beijing
The time is usually the day or the next day when it is submitted to the visa center. It means that the visa application materials are on the way from the visa center to the embassy.
3.Visaapplication, refno.BEIJ/ date, month, year/a coding rule/1 bytheukembassyforprocessing has been received.
This state takes a long time. According to the current visa processing time, it is 15 working days, and generally it is about 10 working days. From the second state until the visa is issued, it has been this state "the embassy has received it and is accepting it". I hope the students will wait patiently.
This is actually not a state, because you are sure that all the inputs are correct, and the first input prompts you that this is invalid.
Search, don't believe it for the second time, and then enter it. The webpage keeps prompting that it is being refreshed, but there is still no result. Congratulations. At this time, you can call the callingcentre at 400-821-182 to confirm the inquiry. The operator will tell you, "Your visa has been returned from the embassy to the visa center. Please be patient.
You can pick it up at the visa center during working hours. "
5.Visaapplicationrefno.BEIJ//a coding rule/1isreadyforcollectionatouVisacenterebeijing
This is the final status, which means you can get it at the visa center, but you don't know whether to pass or refuse the visa. I won't know until I get the yellow bag and open my passport. This time is the most tense!
6.Visaapplicationrefno.BEIJ//some coding rules/1 date, month and year of collection.
This is the sixth state, which means that your visa was taken away on a certain day in a certain year.
